The assumptions I am making are clearly not involving giving a user
population root access. I just point to the lack of tools to maintain
semi-frozen trees and to automate software updates on a large enterprise
desktop deployment, and try to see if this gathers interest. I fail to
see where I need to give wheel to user.
My position would rather be that workstations don't need a portage tree
or an emerge command. A software deployment server could push package
installation on workstations and keep track of what's installed where
and with which configuration files.
Why not have your build server make .rpms(or .tgz for that matter) and
automagicly untar to /. Alternatively, I'm exploring cvs to manage /etc
for my clustered nodes, that may be something you want to consider as well.
